When It Rains, It Pours

When an outpost on the far edges of Federation space needs help, some unexpected former rivals appear out of nowhere!

Mission Description

Outpost Galen Alpha Four has sent out a distress call after an unexpected neutronic storm has passed over it. The Columbia has been ordered to respond to the base and provide relief. Upon arrival, the ship discovers that several Talarian ships are all docked at the base. Further investigation uncovers that the Talarian ships are all training ships; they were trapped in the storm and sought shelter at the Outpost. All of their ships have received damage, too. The Columbia will help both the station and the Talarian ships. The training ships, though, are filled with young Talarian teenagers who are not as engaging as they could be!

Command: the Talarian teenagers are causing havoc on the station; it will be the responsibility of the command to calm the situation down by mentoring them while the Talarians send a ship to pick them up. 

Operations: help repair the station and the Talarian ships. Work with the Talarians to show them how to fix their ship. 

Science: Treat those injured from the neutronic storm (mainly radiation sickness) – deal with the Talarians wishing to undertake the B’Nar ritual. Track where the storm came from and where it is heading, ready to update Starfleet Cartography.

When It Rains, It Pours - The Start

USS Columbia: When It Rains, It Pours

The turbulent, swirling mass of subatomic particles that formed the neutronic storm rolled through the vast expanse of space, washing over everything in its path. Any onlookers, safely out of the storm’s path, would likely describe it as beautiful and menacing as its purple hues danced around [...]
